I've Been Everywhere

I've Been Everywhere Lyrics

[Intro]
I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas covered load"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride"
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land"
